Victor The Robot’s New Webpage

Gramophone Records, who released Victor The Robot’s debut Robotika EP at the end of 2007, have recently redesigned their website. VTR now has his own webpage, featuring some new visuals, the background story to the Robotika release, plus a snippet from ‘Clara Bell’, one of the EP’s most haunting tracks. Technical difficulties on VTR’s MySpace page have meant that our favourite robot has been quiet for a while. He will, however, be back in 2009 with a new short film, the follow-up to Robotika and the widest range yet of Electrophonic Sounds. All you have to do is listen.
